Hello again! Thanks so much for taking part in my FREEZER COOKING series! We’re stocking our freezers and putting our plans in place to have a great back-to-school season. I really appreciate you being here! My first freezer cooking video (baked ziti) has received a lot of views. I take […]

This assemble-ahead, freeze-ahead recipe is so easy to make and SO delicious, you’ll breathe a sigh of relief. It takes only minutes to assemble, and is a snap to bake. It’s a light, springy, fresh-tasting addition to your recipe repertoire, and the slice of lemon a top each chicken thigh […]

If you haven’t discovered tarragon yet, this is a great place to start. It’s a light, sweet herb, and it’s hard to misuse it when paired with a crispy baked chicken and plenty of fresh lemons. If rosemary is my go-to herb of autumn (rosemary chicken recipe here), then I […]

Lentils are like the humble little monks of the food world. Small, plain, unassuming….cloaked in their earthy brown habits and the little white sash around their waists. By all appearances, lentils are meek. You’d think they’d be boring. You’d think you’d be able to “figure them out” based on their appearance. Turns out, they are quite […]

There’s something especially soul-killing about a poorly-prepared chicken breast. Now, don’t feel bad if you’ve made dry, thick, chewy, barely-palatable chicken breast in your life. People throw boneless, skinless chicken breast around as if it was the easiest thing in the world to prepare, but the fact is; it’s not. It’s actually […]

Once you see how easy it is to make a good broth out of a picked-over roasted chicken, you’ll never throw chicken bits away again. This broth is useful as a base for many-a-soup, and it’s especially good taken straight-up in the middle of cold and flu season, which, unfortunately is upon us right […]

Peanut butter: It’s not just for jelly. “Satay”, or “Sati” is a traditional Indonesian dish made from marinated meat, skewered on bamboo rods, grilled, and served with a peanut sauce. It’s quite possibly one of the world’s most delicious foods. The spices of cumin, red pepper and ginger travel so gracefully in the […]

How beautiful is this chicken? I took this photograph while standing on my dining room table. I have a perfect place right by my back sliding glass door where the natural light is good for about four hours a day. I wanted to thank you for visiting my blog. I see my stats rising and I […]

Once again, Thanksgiving is upon us. I must admit; as I was cooking this turkey for my blog I got little misty-eyed with gratitude. Another year has passed with us all safe and well. A hard year, yes, but one that yielded good things, ultimately. I’ve been cooking this particular turkey recipe for seven […]

Genuine, talented, and loving mother who has dedicated her life to raising children in a lifestyle and community focused on the defense of our country. While we are an extremely mobile and resilient community, our children deal with so very much. Shannon's show not only provides great food and recipes, she candidly shares those experiences and brings families together (sometimes across oceans and continents). This is our life - she just does it with grace and great lessons in food!

Shannon Vavich is a down to earth mother of 7, count 'em... 7 kids! She is a family first mom and I Love that!!! We've met the kids, the dog, the hamster... I haven't seen her Marine Corps Colonel Husband, but those 7 kids are lovingly raised by both parents. She shares family stories, parenting tips and encourages feedback and promotes positive discussion. I haven't even mentioned the her wonderful recipes... they are Simple, not loaded down with tons of ingredients, easy to prepare, she does it while dealing with her kids at times, talking about something unrelated to food prep and she doesn't miss a beat. I've made several of the recipes and they are yummy. She has taken us on a couple of field trips international style! I'm sure most of her fans haven't been to Japan, so I really appreciate the field trips. It's a wonderful "show" and I find myself totally looking forward to each and every one...!!!
